Lovely place to stay

We stayed in the house next door to the pub and it’s an amazing place to stay. The rooms are spacious and very well decorated. If you eat in the restaurant try and get a table inside the restaurant and not in the bar area as this was quite noisy.

Perfect country pub/hotel

The Dabbling Duck set in a beautiful little village fulfilled our expectations of a relaxing night away. The menu choice in the restaurant was excellent and the staff delightful. Our dog Polly was made to feel very welcome with a dog bed, water bowl and a few treats.

Lovely place!

We stayed as we were going to a concert nearby. Perfect for what we needed. We however were surprised how nice it was and didn’t take full advantage. We will be back for another stay and a meal etc!

Suffice to say, if we're looking for somewhere to stay in the area again we won't need to look any further than The Dabbling Duck. We were well looked after from start to finish. Superb accommodation and lovely food - especially the breakfast which was perfect.

Excellent village pub with great staff and atmosphere that matches its surroundings and in keeping with good old inn values. The chef provides a great variety of flavors and quality dishes all served hot and on hot plates. The stairs are somewhat challenging for the elderly and mobility impaired. I didn’t realize when booking that I could have requested a ground floor room. My bad - should have read the small print. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
